Under Maestro Daniele Gatti’s distinguished baton, the HK Phil presents a programme of classical elegance and delight. The concert opens with Beethoven’s Egmont Overture, distilling Goethe’s tragedy into a journey from oppression to triumph. Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony, composed during his Grand Tour and described by the composer as “the most joyful piece I have yet composed,” radiates Mediterranean colour — sunlit skies, solemn processions, majestic monuments and a Neapolitan saltarello. Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony, written between the heroic Third and the iconic Fifth, crowns the evening in uplifting B flat major.
The concert runs approximately 70 minutes without an intermission.
For ages 6 and above
